Gary Neville calls Paul Scholes a 'b*****d' as Fulham apologise to former Manchester United star

Fulham issued a tongue-in-cheek apology to former Manchester United captain Gary Neville on social media ahead of Sunday's Premier League meeting at Craven Cottage.

The former right-back, who was covering the game as Sky Sports' co-commentator, uploaded a video to his own Twitter page ahead of kick-off, reminiscing about the time he and his brother, Phil, were trolled by Fulham's supporters many years ago. It was a during a warm-up session ahead of a fixture between the two clubs at Craven Cottage where the Neville brothers were mocked about playing for England.

Between them, the Neville brothers chalked up more than 140 caps for the Three Lions, with Gary, who is the older of the two, representing his country on 85 occasions. But despite their impressive international records, a collection of Fulham supporters did not believe they were worthy of getting into the squad.
